My ISP again had an undisclosed problem with connectivity around 10:00am this morning. When the problem was fixed, my cable modem wasn't able to reset itself and get back online. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get home until 9:30pm, so the entire site was down for 11.5 hours. Everything is again operational after a simple power cycle of the modem. Ridiculous.

My recent acquisition of a day/night color camera means the Gnome Cam is no longer limited by the sun. Consequently, it is now operating from 8:00am - 11:00pm. Unfortunately, the camera is sensitive to cold, so once the snow hit's it's back to the old daytime camera until spring. But for now, it's late night Gnome Cam!

The picture is very sharp. Can you soften it up a little?
Tim
no

If you look at Nov 1st and scroll thru each time, then hit the arrow key down, you can see in the upper left hand corner all the leaves disappearing off a tree

New Graphic thanks to STAVOS!
AtomicInternet
Its so sharp it looks like Iraqi television.
tim
Thats because you need Gnome goggles on. "makes things more blurry & there's rainbow colors everywhere!"
Stavos
Also, the Gnome cam graphic says 24/7. The camera is only on 8am till Midnight.
Tim
You guys and your technicalities.

Rating: 3 - Link to this Article 10-28-2003 Amusing Ourselves to Death View Webcam for 10-28-2003 3 COMMENTS
About 5 years ago, I read an excellent book entitled "Amusing Ourselves to Death." It is a discussion on how the various media we are bombarded with is affecting our lives, and some possible ramifications. Today, the free press ran a good article on the use of media in educating children. While I spent a good deal of my childhood watching "He-Man," "Smurfs," and "Transformers," I also remember my parents forcing me to go outside and play with my friends quite frequently. I still became a computer nerd, but thanks to them I developed enough social skills to maintain relationships with my fellow human beings. I'm not saying we should all panic and run around in circles blowing up TV's, I'd be a hypocrite if I said that. Instead, I'm assigning everyone homework: buy/borrow/steal the book and read the article. If you're aware of the issue, you think differently. Don't let your imagination get swallowed up in mainstream media. Dare to be different, and express your creativity even if it doesn't make any sense at all. Here are a few good examples.

I think kids should only watch WB 18 in Orlando.

poor "David the Gnome". You fondly remember the Smurfs, but no one remembers David the Gnome. I dare to think he impacted your adult life more than the Smurfs...

The Surprise Visitor has been coming to my porch for almost 5 days now so Melissa and I decided to take action. I called up my mom and asked if she would watch the cat for the next few weeks while we put up posters in case he has an owner. She agreed and now he has a place to live. He's a surprisingly quiet and affectionate cat, and definately polydactyl. In case you didn't notice, I also installed a hood for my oven, which was long overdue.
User Comments for 10-27-2003:
polydactyl - having more than the normal number of digits.

mutant - mu·tant: An individual, organism, or new genetic character arising or resulting from mutation. Or freak.

Steve and Candy came over lastnight for the viewing of the "Nineteen Eighty Four" movie. While we were watching the movie, a cat showed up on my porch. He had gigantic eyes and was so friendly it couldn't have been a stray. Melissa set out a cat carrier for him, and we later saw my neighbors do the same. I don't think he was lost so much as he wanted to socialize. My cat, however, definately was not interested in socializing and went insane trying to attack him through the window. My cat going absolutely nuts was definately entertaining.
User Comments for 10-25-2003:
Too bad Tim and Lavonne didn't come over
tim
Yeah, I miss those two. It's time for everyone to move to Florida.
AtomicInternet
Or everyone in Florida move's to Redford... Can i get an Amen?
Stavos
No amen. Redford sucks cuz its in Michigan which sucks.

Rating: 3 - Link to this Article 10-24-2003 Nineteen Eighty Four View Webcam for 10-24-2003 3 COMMENTS
I recently acquired a copy of the movie Nineteen Eighty Four, an adaptation of the novel by George Orwell. I've read the book and saw the Macintosh commercial based on the movie, but never saw the movie itself. I hope to change that this weekend. It's a story about a future society (1984 was the future when it was written) based on "Ingsoc" (newspeak for English Socialisim). In the story, "Big Brother" spies on citizens 24/7 and runs their lives. I'm a big fan of apocolypse movies and if it's anything like the book this one should be awesome. Yes, I know I'm probably the only person on the planet who hasn't seen it yet.

I never saw it

Come over tonight then. If you head out now you'll be here in time.
AtomicInternet
I havent seen it either, but sounds like my kind of movie!

Brian recently purchased a G5 computer and immediately started running Seti@Home as a benchmark. It was very fast, and looked slick on top of it. We drooled over it for quite some time. I had switched from running Seti@Home to United Devices cancer research client almost 2 years ago and then just stopped running distributed computing entirely. The recent demonstration had me digging around for my account and I finally found it. I once had 10 PC's running the client to get my stats where they are, and now I'm sure I can run it on my single PC and accomplish the same amount as the 10 PC's did 2 years ago. You can watch my progress here.

I recently read a very good article passed on by Stavos. I'm personally hoping for possibility #7 myself. Regardless, it will be interesting to see how things pan out.
User Comments for 10-20-2003:
my thoughts: By the time anything even is effected by over population on our planet, I will be long gone before anything has noticeably changed, therefore I don't care and I’m going to mate like a rabbit!!
Stavos
Agreed! Now commence with the reproduction!

Rating: 3 - Link to this Article 10-19-2003 My trip to Hell View Webcam for 10-19-2003 2 COMMENTS
This weekend my girlfriend and I decided to drive out to Hell, MI just for kicks. What better way to spend sweetest day? I've been there a few times and it's nothing entertaining. Two buildings and some landmarks, that's about it. The whole point is that you're in hell, get it? At the very least it was a nice drive to enjoy the fall leaves, and we stopped off at a cider mill on the way back. We took some obnoxious photos of the trip along with a few post-hell trip shots. As you can see from the photos, it's definately a trip worth making.
User Comments for 10-19-2003:
I didn't even know it was sweetest day!! OMG! Poor Lavonne. I don't think they have sweetest day here anyway.

Florida is exempt, but you aren't!
